The Grahaminator at 3 Months

Weight: (Our pediatrician doesn't do 3 month check-ups, so we don't really know.)

Height: (Ditto)

Clothing size: 0-3 months/ 3 months. (Is it just me, or is baby clothing size super confusing?)

Diaper size: 1, but now we're in cloth diapers, which are one size fits all. 

Feeding: Still eating well every 3 hours. Ever since he started sleeping through the night, he is much more hungry during the day. Makes sense, but one day he nursed for an hour straight at one feeding, and several times lately it's taken 45 minutes. What??! Did I mention just feeding this kid is my full-time job??! Andrew always says he is packing on the ounces. Ha. He has just started taking a normal bottle lately, instead of his "special needs" one, so we're hoping this will continue.

Sleeping: Taking 1.5 hour naps each 3-hour cycle. Sleeping through the night!!!!

Milestones: Survived his 2 month shots. Ouch. Rolling over!!!! (tummy to back) Starting to laugh!! Starting in cloth diapers.

Likes: I decided pretty soon after Graham was born that he is an ENFJ (Myers Brigg) so far... meaning he loves people, sees only the big picture, reacts emotionally, and loves his schedule. Pretty sure all newborns must be this :), but we'll see how his temperament progresses as he grows. Anyway, he still loves SNUGGLING. Hunting for his thumb and trying to shove it into his mouth at all times. Paci to go to sleep. Elephant mat. The Bumbo. 

Lovin' the Bumbo.

Dislikes: Baths. Any clothes that go over his head.

Adventures: Meeting baby Kaleigh!! Graham's cousin Kaleigh was born in Florida, so we had to wait a couple of weeks to meet her. They have no idea they're going to be best buds. :)

Typical: Graham avoiding eye contact and Kaleigh looking completely adorable.

LOVE that our babies are so close to the same age!!
Congrats Mary Leslie and Heath!!

Loved his visit with Nonnie and Poppy! 

He's so proud of his Daddy. :)

What we couldn't live with out: BIBS!!! They help catch all that spit-up... sometimes...

My favorite part of parenting this age: I just added this in, so I'm going to fill in for the past two months too... 

1 month- Snuggles and cuddles!!! The awe of every little movement, sneeze, facial expression, etc. Sweet noises- purring especially. 

2 months- Beginning responses to us. More eye contact, smiles, coos. Finally feeling like he's really OUR baby, not like we're just baby-sitting. :)

3 months- Seeing new tricks!! Rolling over, lots of smiles and noises. Just so much more alert and responsive in general. This age is really fun!

The hardest part of parenting this age:

1 month- Lack of sleep. Nursing. Feeling clueless what to do sometimes. Constant worrying. Figuring out how to be on the same team parenting.

2 months- Exactly the same as 1 month.

3 months- I think still just getting used to things-- lately missing out at social gatherings from having to leave the room to nurse him. It's hard but worth it.

I just love our little family.

A little size comparison... I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get these three pictures all beside each other! Anyone using blogspot that can help me out with this??
